25HP StorageWorks Auto Path for AIX: Installation Guide
Configuration and operation
To operate a volume group created using Auto Path, use the commands from the
utility for operating DLM volume groups. If you operate a volume group without
using the commands from the utility for operating DLM volume groups, the
volume group may become invalid. In this case, use the AIX commands to rectify
the volume group. (See the example.)
Do not specify any volume group other than a volume group created using the
commands from the utility for operating DLM volume groups. Doing so may
cause the volume group to become invalid.
Example Create a volume group for Auto Path:
# dlmmkvg -s 32 -y dlmvg1 dlmfdrv2 dlmfdrv3
# dlmlsvg
